FOSS Advocacy for West Africa and Beyond

The IDLELO Conference offers a real opportunity to discuss new issues, tackle complex problems and find advanced enabling solutions able to shape new trends in FOSS and related technologies on the African continent. In 2010 the conference will be held in Accra, the capital city of Ghana. IDLELO 4 follows successful series of conferences already held in South Africa, Kenya and Senegal. The IDLELO 4 of Accra is going to be held from the 17th to the 21st May, 2010.

IDLELO is one event for FOSS practitioners, developers and advocates as well as governments to showcase results, share experiences and challenges, review progress on the continent in diverse domains and chart a way forward for an African future grounded in true ownership of technology. IDLELO is therefore a premier international forum for the presentation of research results in Free and Open Source Software(FOSS) in Africa.
